Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Minoxidil is quite effective to regrow the hairs. You can apply 2% Minoxidil. It’s an over the counter drug and popular brands are “Mintop” and “Alomax“. You can take Finasteride also, but it is a prescription drug with side effects present. If these medicines fail, hair transplant is the choice but cost may be a problem. Consult a dermatologist for detailed explanation of various treatment options.

Wishing you good health.
